When you log out, the D-Bus session bus is killed. Emacs' dbusbind does
not recognize that, and still tries to poll the session bus.

I've added unsetting of $DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS in xd_remove_watch,
when the session bus is meant. This shall fix the problem (at least, it
does it for me).

Thanks for reporting, and best regards, Michael.
